Goof, yanking on a will knot can cause undo pain, becareful down there.
When it comes to yanking on things "down there', Cando - I will certainly defer to your judgement and expertise my friend.
Professor Meadows, an immunologist at Washington State University says, "The drainage from your nose is largely made up of mucous and fluid."
The internal portion of your nose is lined with something called a mucous membrane, same as the inside of your stomach. In the stomach, mucous defends you against yourself. Its slimy, lubricating coating guards the lining of your stomach against the hydrochloric acid that helps digest your food.
In the nose, mucous has two roles. Along with tiny hair-like projections called cilia, it traps dust, bacteria, and other small particles breathed in with air. Working together as a filtering team, they make the air easier to breathe, cleaner and more free of such harmful things as bacteria.
Basically, snot is a mixture of water and the particles that it and the cilia filter out. It also includes shed epithelial cells, dead leukocytes, dead bacteria and their products, mucin, and inorganic salts.
Epithelial cells line all the inside surfaces of your body, including your nose. They die and are shed much like the skin that peels off in the shower when you have a sunburn. Mucous acts like a shower in your nose, washing away the elderly cells.
White blood cells, or leukocytes, are soldiers in the war on bacteria and other foreign material in your nose. Leukocytes protect your nose (and your body) by swallowing all that bad stuff. Then they die and are washed out in mucous.
Mucin is a sugar made by the mucous membrane that lines your nose. It is one of the products that helps moisten, lubricate, and protect the inside of the nasal passage.
The inorganic salts are materials breathed in that can harden and become�boogers..

Excuse me while i puke my guts up.

Isobella, i agree stick with the boogers, but a word of caution. Once while driving i dug out a big one, not knowing what to do with it i rolled it around in my fingers and then flipped it out the window. Problem was my window was rolled up. Thinking fast i run my window up and down several times thinking this would solve the problem.
Wrong again, just smeared it on thw window, so for the last 6 months anytime i need to see if anythings is coming i have to roll the window down, on the bright side its getting warmer out but then theres the spring rain....... Oh well whats a hepper to do???
Will knots - right, got it. Yeah, don't reverse the order.
